General ⇒ Change Name of .cls File

[thelma]

I've just installed the basic version of TeX Live on my Mac[OS X 10.5].

I've also, with help from this Board, got it to work with revtex.
I can now successfully latex a file that runs on another system:
latex complains that 'revtex4.cls' is missing--I tell it to use
'revtex4-1.cls', which is the version provided with my TeX Live, and
it then runs fine. But I'd like to be able to tell it once and for all
that we're using 'revtex4-1.cls', not 'revtex4.cls', and I haven't
figured out how to do this. The .tex file I am working with has no
direct reference to revtex4.cls. What do I need to update?

thank you, thelma

Just install the revtex4-1 class on the machine where it is missing.


Best regards

I have no control over the software on the other machine.
I was given several .tex files to add content to, which I'll do on my Mac, with its revtex4-1.cls.
Is there a way that I can tell latex that revtex4-1.cls is now the default for this class?

thanks, --thelma

You can put the class file into the working directory of the project so that it can be found by the compiler.
